Fathers and Daughters Pink and Cookies!

At my house sometimes you have to get creative.

  My hubby can work some long hours and my Anika may not get to see her "da~da~da" as much as she would like to.  (Yes, she is 15 and Yes, she calls him "da~da~da" so?) Well on those nights where she doesn't get to see him at all? This is what they do!

They have been doing this for months and when one of them forgets...oh boy!!! Now they even have colored markers, every color of the rainbow in that potty of hers (started out with just one dry erase marker)

They have been silly, heartfelt, even angry on occasion.....They have shared and made up.  Sometimes I get curious and other times I just stay out of there all together.

Sometimes I can hear one or the other come out of that bathroom giggling.  I might get to hear the funny stuff or I might just leave the whole question alone.  Sometimes  they just HAVE to tell me what's going on and I get the best laughs!

I keep saying I cannot wait to re~do this bathroom after Anika is gone off to college, but I will really miss the pile of markers on the sink.  Maybe I should make them a permanant fixture for this bathroom and when she comes home to visit, her and "da~da~da" can write notes again!

Check out my newest pink find! Tiny little pink satin balls on a beautiful garland.  I have never seen anything like these before...sure I have seen the big balls and have plenty off them, but these? NEVER!

I purchased these at Maxwell Vintage on ebay. OOOOh you don't know this place?  Dare I say it's a little treasure chest of fantastic goodies?

I found some lovely stuff there....like this table runner.  I made an offer on it, but my offer was refused!  I was sad :(

I got my box today and inside? There was MY beauty...wrapped with care and smelling all sweet.

Thank YOU

So stop over at the blog and  be a follower, maybe skip over and see the ebay store?  You never know what you may find...make an offer, who knows right?

And Kailey........

You are the BEST 8 year old EVER!!!!

Look Y'all, she suprises us all the time....she leaves these on our porch so when we come home after a hard day, we have a treat!

They are chocolate covered on the back, yummy!  She even makes sure there is one for everyone....Kailey, you are the BESTEST!!

Anika you're Special!!

 Don't you just love a girl who can accessorize?

Look at my beautiful Anika...I let her dress herself for school today!!  Ain't she cute?  That Hannah Montana purse is just the right touch!

She stole her dad's slippers and didn't even bother to take off the clearance price tag, now that's class!

She might just kill me for this, but then again.....Nah she loves the attention!

Homecoming, got to love it!

Tacky day and one other girl beat her???

I have been given extra time to blog and this is why!

My Anika has been "benched"!

She did some pretty good ligament damage to her foot and ankle.  After x-rays and a mri they gave her some options and this is what MOMMY chose!

The doctor said it's a littl over kill, but if you have ever had a child with a cast that comes on and off, you know the routine!  I opted for "it's staying on till it heals!"  No whining, no complaining, no it looks ugly, it's itchy, I will put it right back on....yea...heard all before!

Cross country running for her is over for the season.  Although it is sad, she can still keep in shape and prepare for next year.

4-H can get all of her attention now,  Miriam? Where are you?
